one of the handsomest in the State.
1t is Democratic in it's politics, but doesn't wear
any collar. It has opinions. and expresses them.
Laws no claims to being the ablest paper in the
State. but has the comfortable assurance that as q
North Carolina mea0s- paper, it is something of a
success.
1t would be pleased to have more advertisements

BARCLAY WALKERS COMIC OPERA.
"Maganon" Makes a Favorable Impression,
and the Composer Is Warmly ApplaudeG.

A large audience, cultured and critical, at
tended the opening performance of Mr.. Barclay
Walkers new romantic opera "Maganon" at the
Grand Opera house last night. If the enthusi-
asm it evoked is safe criterion for future per
formances, it may .be set down that the new
opera by this young composer is a success. The
baton was in the hands of Prof. Ora Pearson,
and under his direction the movement was ex-
ceedingy smooth for first performance. The
overture is made of different numbers of the
opera, and is very bright and sparkling, giving
the audience foretaste of what is TO follow.
The opening chorus was of the catchy kind. like
those of Gilbert and Sullivan, and is one
that will haunt the memory. The Captains
solo. by Harry Fletcher was a rollicking song,
a minor strain running through it. having true
flavor of blue water. Pink Hall, as Gen. U. S.
Whiz. who has been appointed minister to the
Sadde-tree Islands, which he fails to find, then
sings his first song. which occurs again after
ward in the opera, and Miss Ida Sweenie, as
Masanon. makes her first appearance to sing
sweet and pathetic number. Her voice is high
soprano, very clear in the upper register and
we'll under control The first act closes with the
'.Fire Chorus" which is very dramatic num-
Der. There was hearty demand for encore,
but as the act closed with tableau repetition
could be given.
The second act with trio by Maganon,
Miss SWEENEY. Theresa, Mrs. w. W. Scott,
and Nubbins the valet, Harry Martin), which
was enthusiastically encored. This was followed
by a beautiful chorus 'Hark We Hear Angelic
Voices" This chorus sung behind the
scenes with fine effect of distance. Queen
Diaza Mrs. I. NJ. Boydl sang solo Behold
These Strangers" which is responded to by
Theresa in solo BE Not Afraid" King Ruo
mr. A. S. Chatfeld) then appears in recita-
tive with General Whiz, and the General re-
spends with a solo Il Am Satisfied that Y GU Are
Tame" General Whiz is clever comedy part
and Mr.. Hall makes the most of it. Prince
Dorchester Mr.. Samuel Morrisonl makes his
entrance to the strains of martial chorus,
See the Mighty Prince Appears and IS fol-
lowed by chorus in waltz time, Come to the
Woods Away" which is a very catching tune.
The Prince unsuccessful and threatening
sutton of Maganon sings, Every Dog Will Have
His Day" which is a mazurka movement, and
very pleasing, being well sung by Mr.. Morrison.
The chorus follow with wine song. in which
Mr. Walker introduces some very pretty dance
music. The solo, She's Mine, She's Nine" is
sung by the Prince. whose role makes the near
est approach to the stage villain of any in the

BISHOP HANNINGTON'S TRAGIC FATE.
The Latest Martyr Civilization Slain in
Central Africa.


All the Year Round
On the 18th of October the Bishop left Kwa-
Sundu, and Mr.. Jones heard nothing from or
about him until the 9Th of November. when two
natives brought the news that the Bishop and
his party had been killed.
The Bishops own diary, in the little book so
curiously recovered, IS from the 18th Of October
to the 10Th of same month. On the 18th is the
record: eve are in the midst of awful swamps,
and the mosquitoes as savage as bees: the Lord
keep me- from fever!" The 18TH 81 hear
nothing about the Nile. The nearer |
get the more anxious l seem about arriving"
The Goth: II fear we have arrived in a trouble
some country The 21st: Il climbed neigh
boring hill, and, to my JOY; saw splendid view
of the Nile. Suddenly twenty ruffians
set upon us, violently threw me to the ground
and proceeded to strip me of all valuables.
They forced me up and hurried me away
until we came to hut. into the court
of which was forced, and / learned that the
Sultan meant to keep me prisoner until he had
received word from Mwanga." The 22d: Il
found myself in bed in a fair-sized hut, but with
no ventilation fire on the hearth. no chimney
for smoke. about twenty mon all round me. and
rats and vermn ad lib; fearfullv shaken, strained
in every limb; great pain and consumed with
thirst. 1 got little sleep"
We pass on to Oct. % seventh day in prison
"A terrible night; first with noisy, drunken
guards, and secondly with vermin- don't think
I got sound hours Sleep and woke with
fever fast developing. o Lord, have mercy on
me and release me! | am broken down and
away. Word came that Mwanga had sent three
soldiers, but what news they bring they will not
let me know"
The last entry in this pathetic journal is as
follows. Oct % Thursday eighth day in PRISON.:
l can hear no news, but held up by Psalm
xxx, which came with great power. A hyena
howled me list night, smelling sick man;
but hope il is not 10 have me yet
What followed has rsen learned from the four
men VINO escaped from tho massacre of his little
party. He was conducted to- an open spot in the
village and placed in the midst of his own men.
Then with wild shout, the warriors fell upon
them, and their flashing spears soon covered the
ground with the dead and dying. The Bishop
faced his destiny like Christian and a man. AS
the soldiers told off TO murder him closed round,
he made one last of that commanding mien
which never failed to secure for him the respect
OF the most savage. Drawing himself up he
looked around. and. they momentarily hest
tated with poised weapons he spoke a few words
which engraved themselves upon their memories,
and which they afterward repeated just as they
were heard. He bade them tell the King that
he was about to die for the Wa-Ganda, and that
he had purchased the road to Uganda with his
life Then, as they still hesitated. he pointed to
his own gun. which one of them discharged. and
the great and noble spirit leaped forth from It's
broken house of clay and entered with exceeding
Joy into the presence of the King"

The Present Era of Strikes.

Huntington Herald.
Why is it that so few Democratic papers make
any mention of the great number of strikes
among the laboring men of the countrya We
were promised that under Democratic admin
istration strike would be thing unknown, yet
we have now had barely two years of Democra-
CIV and never were labor troubles and difficulties
SO prevalent For the entire period il has been
one continual season of uneasiness and unrest,
and the end seems now to be further away than
it was one year ago. It is pretty we'll settled
that Democracy is the same old stencil, and will
cause trouble and dissension wherever it gains
any kind of footing

Another Letter from Professor Cox.


To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
Again / am under great obligations for num-
Der of Indianapolis Journals that give informa-
ton on the progress of gas discoveries in Indi-
ana; ALSO some remarks the views put
forward in my letter of the I'd inst, on the
geology and chemistry of natural gas in general.
1t would be something very strange if one
who had devoted more than thirty years of mis-
life to the practical study of the geological
formations of Indiana, Illinois. Kentucky, Ar
kansas. Missouri, Iowa and Wisconsin could not.
while sitting at his desk in New York, know
enough of the rocks to be penetrated by the
drill in Indiana, from study of their crop in
other localities to write with as much inteIli-
gence on their physical characteristics as another
who has simply examined few small fragments
broken off by the drill in making six or eight
inch hole, and brought to the surface by the
sand-pump otherwise.
In regard to the gas collected at French Lick
springs. Those who have visited these cele-
brated medicinal waters know that the water
breaks up from the junction OF the coal measure
and Subcar bonferous rocks, and from depth
not to exceed 80 feet since the temperature of the
water is So Fahrenheit. 1t is strongly charged
with sulphureted hydrogen and carbonic acid
gases, and large quantities of these gases are
seen bubbling up through the clear water and
escape into the atmosphere, tainting it for con-
siderable distance around with the odor OF
spoiled eggs. Though these springs have been
dischareing water and gas for untold centuries,
yet trace of petroleum can be detected around
the borders of the springs flor there are many
or in their limpid waters.
After collecting the gas for analysis, a month
or more elapsed before the analysis could be
made and up to that time the tubes contained
no show of liberated oil Now. L did not give
decided opinion to the source of the oil found
in the tube which had remained sealed for
years but suggested that it was either me-
chanically suspended in the gas as vapor or the
result of an interchange of the elementary con-
stituents of the gases
AS 1 made study of the oil wells in Ken
lucky as early as 1857, and of the Pennsylvania
wells on Oh! creek, in 1864, and have more or
less knowledge Of the DEVELOPMENTS made since,
it might have been inferred that L was familiar
with the association of oil and gas in the spout
ing wells E. T. Cox.

MIR. voorhees's Great Speech.

Warrington Times.
A Southern writer. in delving among the rec
ords of the war, has brought out, with enthusi-
astic comment a copy of the speech delivered by
Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees, in 1860, in which he
declared that "if the time ever came when the
soil of Virginia should be invaded by the armed
hosts of aboitionism, he would head band of
900 Indianians, and march to the rescue"
The invasion took place, it will be remembered,
but the future historian will search in vain for
the indications of the footsteps of Mr.. Voorhees,

The Science of Hypnotism.

The science Of hypnotism, not long ago
sneered at and ignored by medical men,
has secured at last an astonishing recog-
milton from them. The medical thinkers
OF France are now considering it as one
of their most reliable means of producing
results that are out Of the reach of their
ordinary remedies. They lately made in
Paris number Of very successful expert
ments upon children from the house OF
refuge, some Of whom were supposed to
be irreclaimably bad. They were hyprot-
lied, and while in this condition they
were enjoined to obey their teachers, to
study, to keep themselves clean and to
stop swearing and lying, habits which the
refuge wardens had asserted could not be
abandoned by their depraved charges.
The influence of the hypnotism lasted
for months, and the boys that had been
influenced were changed during that time
from troublesome prisoners TO pupils
of most exemplary conduct. One of the
boys who Was hypnotized had been leader
among his companions in all sorts of I'M
ruly and immoral behavior. The change
in him was so radical after the hypnotism
that it frightened both himself and his
companions, and having reasoned about
his conversion he absolutely refused to
submit to the mesmeric passes again when
the physicians wanted TO repeat the expert
ment.-Physician in Globe Democrat.
